Maserada sul Piave, on the river's right bank above Treviso
Along this stretch the Piave is wide and full of gravel, with shifting channels and wooded islands known locally as grave. Maserada sits on the right bank, north-east of Treviso, and the river marks its boundary to the east. During the First World War the front line ran along these banks, and the memory of those years is still visible in local names and memorials.
Besides the main village the municipality includes hamlets such as Candelù, Varago and Salettuol, each with its own small centre. Homes are mostly detached and semi-detached houses with gardens, built from the 1970s to the present, plus a few old farmhouses. Treviso is where people go for work and services, about a quarter of an hour by car; within the municipality Overture lists 5 supermarkets and 3 pharmacies.
There were 9,196 residents at the end of 2023, down 1.0% on 2011, so broadly stable. The estimated average age is 45.5 against 46.0 for the province, over-65s make up 21.5% and households average 2.41 people. Foreign residents account for 6.7%.
The Treviso area is more earthquake-prone than many expect. Maserada is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection scale, like most of the province, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.160 g; 4 municipalities in the hills to the north are in zone 1, the highest. For a house built before current standards, ask for the design year and any structural work.
Next to a river like the Piave, the key check is water. Houses inside the floodplain or right against the embankments are not worth the same as those further away: the report reads the official flood maps at the address and, with the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps, traces the plot.
